We track ERCOT's data center, crypto, and industrial power queue back to August 1, 2022. Real timelines, real prices, real numbers. This is what already happened, not a prediction of what will.

Co-locatedBuilt next to an existing power plant, sharing its connection instead of needing a new one from the grid. vs. standaloneA standalone project that needs its own new connection to the grid, built from scratch. MW, monthly. Every break in the line is real: ERCOT's committee didn't meet or publish a deck those months. It only met about once a month, not every month.
